Youth and young adults experiencing homelessness often remain invisible as they live on the streets, in shelters, in their car or by staying temporarily with others. Homeless young people have already been failed by numerous systems - and people - who were supposed to help keep them safe. They are in survival mode, lacking the basic necessities of life - a safe place to live, regular sources of food. That’s when traffickers swoop in. 

Domestic workers have been left out of virtually every major federal labor protection law. That fact, coupled with isolated, informal working conditions make this workforce very vulnerable to labor trafficking. It is time to give the nannies, house cleaners and home health aides who help busy families manage their lives the respect, the payment and the protection they deserve.

Each year, hundreds of thousands of guest workers from around the world will enter the U.S. on a myriad of temporary work visas. Many of these guest workers are at the mercy of a single employer for both their job and their legal status in the U.S., making them especially vulnerable to human trafficking.

In 2020, the U.S. National Human Trafficking Hotline worked on 10,583 situations of human trafficking involving 16,658 individual survivors. But we can do more with your help! Share our infographics on social media and expand awareness of human trafficking and the Trafficking Hotline.

Social media has become a part of our everyday lives and has changed the way we communicate with friends and family. While many of these platforms have created more ways to keep in touch, meet new friends, and even start relationships, there is also a dark side. Social media has become a platform for human traffickers to recruit potential victims through insincere romantic relationships.

With your support, we can help survivors restore their freedom, prevent more victims, and leverage data and technology to pursue traffickers wherever they operate. Pledge to stand up for those who have lost their freedom. Join our movement and help make a difference in the lives of human trafficking victims and survivors.
